The Ukrainian national soccer team has selected a new venue for its final home match in the main round of the 2026/27 Nations League against Georgia, choosing the Slovak city of Košice.
Due to the ongoing Russian aggression, the national team has been forced to play its home fixtures outside of Ukraine. While the team hosted its first two matches in Trnava, they selected Košice for the upcoming game because of its proximity to the border, located just 97 kilometers from Uzhhorod.
The match will take place at the modern Kosicka futbalova arena, which has a capacity of 12,555 spectators. Built between 2018 and 2023 at a total cost of 22.5 million euros (approximately $25.1 million), the stadium is already a familiar destination for Ukrainian football. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, other Ukrainian clubs—including Dnipro-1, Kryvbas, and Polissya—have utilized the venue for their European cup matches.
After four rounds of play, Andrea Maldera’s squad has accumulated four points. The team retains a mathematical chance to compete for the top positions in their group ahead of the decisive matches scheduled for November.
